General Notes: Husband - Zachariah Zimmerman
He was raised on his father's farm in Allegheny township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, to which his father removed when Zechariah was two years old, until his twentieth year (1848). At that time he came to New Salem and clerked for his brother John in the latter's dry-goods store about a year. He then assisted in Mr. Redpath's store at Leechburg, after which he kept store at Howellton's Cross-Roads for several years. He then attended Duff's Commercial College at Pittsburgh, and took charge of the company co-operative store in New Salem. Afterwards he was again a clerk in his brother John Zimmerman's store, and in 1860 opened a drugstore.
During the Civil War he was a member of the "Union Rangers," Capt. Duff's company of the militia (Company C, Twenty-second Regiment), which saw several weeks' service on the southern borders of the state. He was a member of Congruity Presbyterian Church, and worshiped with the congregation that held its services in the Methodist Episcopal Church edifice. In 1859 he became a member of Carmel Lodge, No. 542, I. O. O. F., of which he was a Noble Grand, and he was a life member of Ancient York Masonic Lodge, No. 225, of Greensburg, where he received its three symbolical degrees in 1863. He served some twenty-five years as postmaster, first at Crawford's Mills, where he was appointed in 1850 by Nathan K. Hall, Postmaster-General under President Fillmore, and which he held until he resigned and moved away from that locality. In 1863, after John Doncaster, postmaster of this town, was burned out, he was appointed post-master there, and held the office until March 4, 1881. He was a Republican in politics, and was twice a candidate for prothonatary.
